Researchers at the University of Auckland are developing an obesity treatment designed to help people lose weight without suppressing appetite. Unlike other treatments such as Wegovy and Mounjaro, this would would target the body's fat-storage process and burn it in a different way. Auckland University Molecular Medicine and Pathology professor Peter Shepherd says this treatment will burn off fat faster and reduce it before it has time to 'settle in'. "Basically, what we've done is found the hormone that controls that process and we've found a way to block that with a little chemical - a little drug that you can take orally."

In this filing dated December 6, 2024, the State of Idaho formally objects to Bryan Kohberger's motion to suppress evidence obtained from his Apple iCloud account via a federal grand jury subpoena and a subsequent search warrant issued on August 1, 2023. Kohberger's defense claimed the searches violated his Fourth Amendment rights, but prosecutors countered that the data falls under the “third-party doctrine,” which permits law enforcement access to user data voluntarily shared with companies like Apple. The State emphasized that the Apple data acquired was limited to account subscriber information—such as email addresses and registration dates—and did not include detailed location tracking or sensitive content. This, they argue, negates any assertion that the warrant violated Kohberger's reasonable expectation of privacy.Further, the State rebuts the claim that the search warrant lacked probable cause or specificity, asserting that the accompanying affidavit clearly outlined the basis for the request and was legally incorporated into the warrant under well-established legal standards. They cite relevant federal cases supporting their position, such as United States v. SDI Future Health, which allows an affidavit to “cure” any alleged warrant deficiencies if it is referenced and available to the executing officers. The State maintains that there were no intentional or reckless misstatements in the affidavit and urges the court to deny the suppression motion, emphasizing that all procedural safeguards were met and the information obtained was narrow in scope and lawfully collected.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.211.0_2.pdf

Grandma's Snake Phobia The Real Cause of Her Anxiety Hosts: Kevin Cornelius, LMFT Dr. David Burns What if anxiety isn't the problem? What if anxiety is actually a message? In this fascinating episode, Dr. David Burns and Kevin Cornelius explore one of the most intriguing concepts in TEAM-CBT: the Hidden Emotion Technique. Using the memorable case of "Grandma's Snake Phobia," David explains why some forms of anxiety persist despite cognitive techniques, exposure exercises, and logical reassurance—and how uncovering an unrecognized emotional truth can sometimes lead to astonishingly rapid recovery. David shares the story of an elderly woman who suddenly developed a crippling fear of snakes despite spending her entire life comfortably around them. While most therapists might have focused on treating the phobia itself, David suspected that the anxiety was serving another purpose entirely. As the conversation unfolds, listeners learn how anxiety can function as a symbolic message from the subconscious mind, drawing attention to feelings, needs, conflicts, or desires that have been pushed out of awareness. David also shares the remarkable story of the patient whose panic attacks and nausea at work led him to first discover the Hidden Emotion Technique, as well as a deeply personal story involving his own struggle with anxiety and professional conflict. Along the way, David and Kevin discuss why highly anxious people are often some of the kindest and most compassionate individuals, how "niceness" can sometimes fuel anxiety, and why learning to honor our feelings may be one of the most important steps toward recovery. In This Episode Why traditional cognitive and behavioral approaches sometimes only partially relieve anxiety The origins of the Hidden Emotion Technique The surprising connection between anxiety and excessive "niceness" Why anxiety may be a symbolic message rather than a malfunction The case of Grandma's sudden snake phobia How unspoken fears about aging and dependence fueled anxiety Why simply becoming aware of a hidden emotion is not enough The critical action step that completes the Hidden Emotion Technique The story of the young woman whose job was literally making her sick How suppressed dreams and unexpressed desires can trigger anxiety symptoms David's personal experience discovering a hidden source of anxiety in his own life The role of conflict avoidance, people-pleasing, and "emotophobia" Why the hidden emotion is almost always happening in the present—not buried in childhood How anxious symptoms often function as symbolic clues to what's really wrong Practical ways to begin exploring hidden emotions in your own life Key Insights from David "Anxiety is our subconscious mind trying to get our attention and tell us something important that our conscious minds can't seem to see." "The ultimate fear in anxiety is often the fear of your own feelings." "Only nice people develop anxiety disorders." "The hidden emotion isn't the fear itself. The fear is conscious. The hidden emotion is the feeling you believe you're not supposed to have." "Anxiety never comes out of the blue. It comes from our lives and our hearts." The Hidden Emotion Technique: Two Essential Steps Step 1: Discover the Hidden Emotion Identify the feeling, desire, conflict, or unmet need that has been pushed out of conscious awareness. Common examples include: Anger that feels unacceptable Unexpressed disappointment A desire you feel guilty about wanting Conflict you're avoiding A dream you've abandoned A need you're afraid to ask for Step 2: Take Action Recovery occurs when you: Express the avoided feeling honestly Address the underlying problem directly Have the difficult conversation you've been avoiding Honor the need or dream you've been neglecting As David emphasizes, insight alone rarely eliminates anxiety. The transformation occurs when awareness is followed by action. Why "Nice" People Often Struggle with Anxiety David describes a pattern he has observed repeatedly throughout his career: Many anxious individuals: Want everyone to be happy Avoid conflict at all costs Feel responsible for others' feelings Believe they should never feel angry Fear disappointing people Suppress their own needs and desires When these feelings remain hidden, anxiety can emerge as a signal that something important needs attention. Questions for Reflection Is there something important you're not telling someone? Are you avoiding a conflict because you don't want to upset anyone? Have you been ignoring a dream, desire, or need that matters deeply to you? Do your anxiety symptoms seem symbolic in any way? Is there a feeling you've decided you're "not supposed" to have?

Gem Of the Day (G.O.D.) about operating with the power that works within us

 The Problem: We Suppress, Not FeelWe are programmed to make feelings go away instead of feeling them.We look for distraction—easy to find today—and suppress our emotions.We think our emotions are our enemy.We like to be together with happy people, with no drama.And so we consume a lot of drugs, or we become addicted to social media and our mobile phones.Look at today's health reports:60% of children are chronically ill.10% are autistic.Suicide rates are at an all-time high.Depression has never been at such a high level.Wars are raging like crazy.The suicide rate of U.S. Army servicemen is five times higher than the death rate on the battlefield.Isn't this evidence enough to question a society that supports the suppression of emotions?How Does It Start?We send our five-year-old child to kindergarten. It comes back depressed.We politely ask what happened, and then we say:"Don't see it that way. Don't be emotionally affected. Don't go into your emotions. You see it absolutely wrong."The message is clear: Suppress your emotions.Instead, we should let the child cry or express its emotions fully.Just be there. Comfort it until it finds calmness by itself.You think that will never happen?It will happen—it just needs time.And please, don't scroll on your mobile phone while doing it.A Personal Story: IndiaWe decided to go to India.Our journey was very challenging—so many things went wrong.She wanted to go home. I said: "Go. I will continue."But she stayed.She could express all of her emotions, her doubts, her anxiety. She got severely sick twice.Can you imagine? We went from 45°C heat to freezing snowstorms at 5,400 meters altitude in Ladakh, and then back to 45°C in Delhi and Varanasi.She couldn't eat the Indian food. She had never experienced freezing temperatures as a Thai person. There was no heating. The internet didn't work.Shocking or not?For me, it wasn't—because I'm used to it.At the end of the trip, she asked me: "Where should we go next time?"I said: "Africa."She said: "OK."Why?Because she could express all her emotions and never got abandoned or punished.That is what a true relationship looks like.What Happens When We Suppress Negative Feelings?Suppressed negative emotions will:Make us sick.Influence our decisions negatively.Increase our fear level significantly.Make us addicted to consumption, shopping, distraction, social media, drugs, etc.Isolate us—because we can't express our emotions, we can't build true relationships.Suppress our positive emotions as well.Reduce our vulnerability, sensitivity, and love.Suppress our spontaneity and creativity.Close our heart.Cause choleric reactions—sudden outbursts of anger over minor problems, punishing innocent people.Lead to projections—blaming others for our own wrongdoing.Turn us into robots.The Beauty of Expressing EmotionsWatch a three-year-old child.They don't suppress their emotions.They change their mood within five minutes.When they are happy, they beam with joy.When they are sad, they cry.That is the beauty of expressing emotions.The Solution: MindfulnessMindfulness is not about stopping your thoughts and feelings.It is about learning to observe thoughts and feelings without judgment or attachment.What Is True Adulthood?True adulthood is mindfulness—accepting our own thoughts and emotions, and accepting all emotions from other people without resenting them.How to Learn This?Attend encounter groups and bioenergetic groups—until you learn to express your emotions fully and accept the emotions of other people.Just do it.My Video: Why Fighting Your Feelings Is Making Everything Worse https://youtu.be/c5FOfKBEmEQMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/Why-Fighting-Your-Feelings-Is-Making-Everything-Worse.mp3

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm sharing something deeply personal - the seven warning signs that kept showing up before I finally made one of the hardest decisions of my life: closing the business I'd spent nearly two decades building. The truth? It wasn't one dramatic moment. It was years of subtle signals that I kept brushing aside. The work I once loved started feeling heavy. I couldn't sleep. My creativity disappeared. My mind was consumed by the same problems every single day. Looking back, my body was trying to tell me something long before my brain was ready to listen. If you're a woman over 40 feeling burned out, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from your work, relationship, or even yourself, this conversation is for you.

Daniel Rood, author of In the Shadow of the Great House, recounts how, in 1933, agronomist Wofford Camp led the Associated Farmers of California to violently suppress cotton worker strikes in the Central Valley. This conflict represented the "cutting edge" of plantation capitalism, which Rood traces back to 17th-century Barbados. Figures like John Yeamans established the model of using manufacturing technology and enslaved labor to produce high-profit export crops like sugar. This system viewed labor as disposable and sought modern, lower-cost production for global markets. (9)OLD PLANTATION HOUSE

Michael Vorenberg explains that on August 20, 1866, Johnson proclaimed the insurrection over to strip Congress of its war powers. Despite ongoing massacres in Memphis and New Orleans, Johnson tried to suppress reports of violence to maintain a "peace" narrative. The Supreme Court later affirmed this technical end date.

The Free Speech Union says the court should show its workings over permanently suppressing a sex offender's name. The man sexually assaulted a woman over five years, and had other convictions for similar offences. The judge says naming the civil servant would bring him extreme hardship and could harm his family. Union chief executive, Jillaine Heather, says having a vacuum of information can be dangerous.

The sermon examines the confrontation between Jesus and the religious leaders in Luke 20, highlighting their refusal to acknowledge His divine authority due to political self-interest. Using the historical trial of John Peter Zenger as an illustration, the preacher demonstrates how corrupt powers often suppress truth to maintain control. The central argument asserts that true spiritual authority originates solely from God and His Word, not from human institutions or traditions. It challenges listeners to move beyond uncertainty and decisively accept Jesus as the Christ and Son of God for eternal life. Ultimately, the message calls for a personal response of faith, urging individuals to stop suppressing the truth and embrace the salvation offered through Christ.

BUFFALO, NY – June 17, 2026 – A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget on June 8, 2026, titled “DHHC3 interferes with antitumor immunity in melanoma cells.” The study was led by first author and corresponding author Chandan Sharma and corresponding author Martin E. Hemler from the Department of Cancer Immunology and Virology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Melanoma is one of the most aggressive forms of skin cancer and is highly influenced by interactions between tumor cells and the immune system. Although modern immunotherapies have transformed treatment for many patients, researchers continue to search for molecular mechanisms that enable tumors to evade immune attack and continue growing. In this study, researchers investigated DHHC3, a protein acyltransferase that regulates protein palmitoylation and helps maintain cellular redox balance. Previous studies had linked elevated DHHC3 expression to poor outcomes in several cancers, but its role in melanoma and anti-tumor immunity remained unclear. To explore this question, the team used CRISPR gene editing to eliminate DHHC3 expression in B16F10 melanoma cells. Loss of DHHC3 caused a marked increase in oxidative stress and cellular senescence, as demonstrated by elevated TXNIP expression, increased reactive oxygen species levels, and enhanced expression of senescence-associated markers.

You say yes when you mean no.You smile through disrespect. You swallow words that deserve to be spoken. You let people cross lines you didn't even know you were allowed to draw.And then you wonder why your body aches in places medicine can't explain. Why exhaustion isn't fixed by rest. Why resentment builds in spaces you can't name.Here's the truth they didn't tell you: Anger is not the problem. The suppression of anger is the problem.You were taught that good people don't get mad. That anger is destructive. That keeping the peace is more important than keeping yourself whole.So you buried something vital. You buried your RIGHTEOUS RAGE CIRCUIT — the critical system in your brain designed to protect you, to say no more, to draw the sacred line.But rage isn't what they told you it was.At its root, rage is passion. It is the fire that says: I matter. My needs are real. I deserve to take up space.And when you bury that fire, you don't extinguish it. You just force it underground where it burns differently — as chronic pain, as autoimmune flare-ups, as depression that no amount of gratitude journaling can touch.Let me explain how this works neurologically.Your brain runs a system — the rage circuit — rooted in your amygdala and hypothalamus. When activated, it releases adrenaline and cortisol. It sharpens your focus. It mobilizes your body. It prepares you to protect what matters.In its healthy expression, this is the energy of boundaries. Of assertiveness. Of passion that builds rather than destroys.If anger is allowed to flow appropriately, it does its job and moves through.If anger is suppressed chronically, it doesn't disappear. It rewires your nervous system into a state of constant, silent defense.Your body stays tight. Your jaw clenches without you noticing. Your shoulders carry weight that isn't yours. And over time, the suppression itself becomes the wound.Here's how the vow forms: If expressing anger was punished in your early environment — if a raised voice meant danger, if asserting yourself led to abandonment, if conflict taught you that feeling strongly equals being unsafe — your brain made a deal.Suppress the fire. Keep the peace.Disappear if necessary.The internal dialogue cement unconscious vows like … - I must suppress my anger - It's dangerous to be assertive - I must avoid conflict at all costs to be invisible This is your operating system running beneath everything — your relationships, your career, compounding your body's chronic tension.These vows were wise when they very much did feel like protection. They kept you safe in environments that couldn't hold your full power.But you are no longer that small. And the fire does not have to stay buried.I want to be very clear about something: Healthy anger is not violence. It is vitality.It is the part of you that refuses to betray yourself one more time. It is the energy that says this far, no further. It is the force that protects what you love — including yourself.If you've been taught that anger makes you a bad person, then you've been taught to abandon yourself at the first sign of discomfort.And that is not spiritual. That is not evolved. It's just another way of shutting down and disappearing.FLIP IT.Instead, gently turn toward your heart—where the hurt still lives and the lingering anger quietly simmers.I created this 10-minute audio journey to help you meet the part of yourself that carries this fire. Not to unleash it recklessly, but to restore it as a source of strength, clarity, and healthy boundaries.In this frequency-based experience, we explore The Fire of Passion—the RAGE circuit that fuels your assertiveness, courage, and ability to protect what matters.If you've ever struggled to say “no,” stand up for yourself, or express anger without shame, this holds the key.The immersion supports you in:* Releasing chronic people-pleasing and self-abandonment* Reconnecting with healthy anger as a source of vitality* Softening stored tension in the body* Building nervous system safety around assertiveness* Reclaiming your personal power—without aggressionEasily Listen Here. This journey was co-created with our resident intuitive guide, who masterfully works with the 7 emotive circuits that shape your reality. The frequency-based design creates spaciousness in your nervous system—so your natural curiosity can return, free from pressure or performance.After you listen, I invite you to explore the unconscious vows that may still be keeping your fire contained.For just $7/month, you'll receive all 5 guides plus the complete 5-Layer Trauma-Informed healing process.This isn't about becoming more aggressive.It's about coming home to the full spectrum of your aliveness—where healthy anger is no longer the problem…but the power that finally finds its way back to you.And that is the bravest kind of beginning.

A Mountain Over Your Head? When You're Feeling Disconnected from Your SpouseIt is one of those strange, intriguing, poignant, and profound Talmudic tales. It includes such wonders as a dialogue with G-d-the-Scribe, instantaneous time travel, and the convergence of humility and self-expression in the evolution of Judaism. When Moses ascended on High (after the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai on Shavuos), he found G-d sitting and tying crowns on the letters of the Torah. Moses said before G-d: Master of the Universe! Who is preventing You from giving the Torah without these additions? What is lacking in the words themselves that You must add crowns as well? G-d said to him: There is a man who is destined to be born after several generations—Akiva the son of Yosef is his name. He is destined to derive from each and every ‘thorn’ of these ‘crowns’ mounds upon mounds of halachos (laws). It is for his sake that the crowns must be added to the letters of the Torah. Moses said before G-d: Master of the Universe! Show him to me. G-d said to him: Turn around. Suddenly, in a classic case of “back to the future,” Moses finds himself 1600 years ahead of his day. He went and sat at the end of the eighth row in Rabbi Akiva’s study hall. Rabbi Akiva is teaching Torah to his disciples, but Moses does not understand what they are saying. Moses’ strength waned; his energy departed from him. He was demoralized. When Rabbi Akiva arrived at the discussion of a particular exposition, his students asked him: Master! From where do you derive this? Rabbi Akiva said to them: It is a halacha, a law, transmitted to Moses from Sinai. When Moses heard this, his mind was put at ease. The entire story seems absurd. For starters, how could Moses not comprehend the lecture of Rabbi Akiva? Moses studied on Mt. Sinai for forty days at the “feet” of the best teacher of all time, G-d Himself. What is even stranger is Moses’ response. When he fails to understand, his strength wanes; his energy is deflated. But then, when Reb Akiva quotes him, his mind is put at ease… Was Moshe’s ego first shattered by his lack of understanding and then placated by hearing his name quoted? What happened to the legendary humility of Moses? It was at the Farbrengen of Shabbos Parshas Shemini, 26 Nissan, 5726, April 16, 1966, when the Lubavitcher Rebbe offered a most powerful and extraordinary explanation of this Talmudic narrative. The sermon takes on a fascinating journey through the Mesorah of Judaism, from master to student. We enter with Moses into the study hall of Reb Akiva, and we discover the great revolutionary composing unsurpassed symphonies of Torah wisdom.

What happens when a culture - or a heart- begins to suppress the truth? This week Pastor Kevin unpacks the warnings found in Romans 1 regarding the spiritual and societal consequences of turning away from God's reality. We will explore how to remain mindful of our choices so that we can live in goodness of Spirit rather than the shadows of modern distraction. Passage Romans 1:18-23

Paul's Epistle to the Romans is a profound work of systematic theology designed to explain how the gospel brings glory to God by revealing His righteousness. Pastor Daniel walks us through Romans 1 which explains how a people who suppress the truth of God heap up sin. Increase in homosexuality, murder, hatred of God, and all kinds of sin increase as unrighteousness people worship the creation rather than the Creator.

Send us Fan Mail Most of us have been taught that anger is the problem. Suppress it. Control it. Push it down. But what if the emotion itself was never the real issue? What if the real work is understanding the story the mind builds in the moments before anger takes hold? This is not a conversation about anger management tips. It is a conversation about the nature of mind. Rev. Amitha Khema, ordained Buddhist monk, Buddhist Chaplain at George Washington University, and mindfulness teacher at the Buddha Meditation Center of Greater Washington DC, brings a grounded, deeply practical perspective to one of the most misunderstood human emotions. This episode explores how internal stories create feelings, why holding anger is more harmful than feeling it, and how the simple act of noticing your breath can begin to change the way you relate to everything that arises within you. About the Guest: Rev. Amitha Khema is an ordained Buddhist monk and the Buddhist Chaplain at George Washington University. He is an IMTA-certified mindfulness teacher and serves the Greater Washington DC community through the Buddha Meditation Center of Greater Washington DC. He leads weekly online meditation sessions every Thursday from 8 to 9 PM Eastern Time, open to practitioners worldwide, and hosts in-person programs for the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area. An evaluation of the Center's programs found that 82% of participants reported relief from depression or sadness, and 75% reported reduced stress and anxiety following meditation practice. Key Takeaways: Feeling anger is not the problem. Holding anger is. Anger that arises and passes is a natural part of being human. Anger that we clutch and carry is the source of ongoing suffering, for ourselves far more than for anyone else. Every feeling arises from a story. The story may be true, partly true, or entirely a misreading of a situation. Until we learn to examine the story, we will keep reacting to a version of events that may not reflect what actually happened. There are four gradual stages of working with anger: acting before you realise, acting and recognising it, pausing and removing yourself, and finally having the tools to cool yourself before reacting. Progress through each stage is real growth. Anger never produces good decisions. When you are in anger, your perception is filtered, your judgment is impaired, and the choices you make in that state are more likely to cause harm and regret. Waiting until you have cooled down produces more accurate and more compassionate decisions. Unmet expectations are one of the most common sources of anger. When the picture in your mind does not match the reality in front of you, that gap creates pain. Training yourself to hold expectations lightly is a form of genuine freedom. The brain can rewire. The patterns of anger, reactivity, and suffering that feel permanent are not. Gradual, consistent practice creates real change. You do not have to stay in the patterns you were given.

Dr. Johnstone holds a B.A. from the University of Michigan and a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley.Key PointsThe OSCE survey revealed a 17-fold increase in forced criminality cases over five years across the 57 member states, making it the fastest growing form of human trafficking globally.Forced scamming, which originated in Southeast Asia, is now being exported to other regions as criminals adopt this lucrative business model that exploits victims with brutal tactics to defraud others.Technology and artificial intelligence present both challenges and opportunities in combating trafficking, allowing law enforcement to process data more quickly to find victims and perpetrators while also being misused by traffickers for recruitment and exploitation.Financial intelligence and following the money can supplement or even replace victim testimony in prosecutions, reducing the burden on survivors and providing effective pathways to convict traffickers.The non-punishment principle remains woefully inadequate in practice worldwide, with victims often arrested, prosecuted, and convicted for crimes directly related to their trafficking experience, creating lifelong consequences that prevent access to housing, employment, and stability.The United States leads globally on criminal record relief for trafficking survivors, with 48-49 states having vacature or expungement laws and new federal legislation (Trafficking Survivor Relief Act) awaiting presidential signature, though much work remains worldwide.Victim assistance must be unlinked from the criminal justice process, allowing survivors to receive care and services first before deciding whether to cooperate with law enforcement, which actually increases the likelihood they will come forward and participate.The demographics of trafficking victims are shifting beyond stereotypes, with forced scamming targeting educated individuals with IT and language skills, while forced criminality increasingly exploits younger children, including those under age 10, for drug-related crimes and violence.ResourcesOrganization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)OSCE Office of the Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human BeingsProtocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons (UN Palermo Protocol)UN Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in PersonsU.S. State Department Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in PersonsTrafficking in Persons ReportTrafficking Survivors Relief ActEnding Human Trafficking PodcastTranscriptTranscript will be here when available.

BROKEN PROMISES AND LINGUISTIC DISCRIMINATION Colleague Brenda Shaffer. Shaffer details how the Islamic Republic initially promised ethnic minorities linguistic and cultural rights to secure power in 1979, only to violently suppress them once established. She explains that this oppression continues today through the policing of non-Persian names on birth certificates and the banning of minority language education. Shaffer argues this linguistic discrimination fuels current unrest, exemplified by Mahsa Amini, whose Kurdish identity was suppressed by state mandates. NUMBER 21870 TEHRAN
